The relevance of my post is that the common person, Muslim, Hindu or Jew are going about their lives and making a livelihood without attacking and denigrating the faith and beliefs of others. They know how to truly interpret what their prophets have told them. So here you have a Muslim, whose Koran says that idol worship is bad. And he rightly has interpreted the Koran in that he is "not worshipping" the idol. Neither has he interpreted that to mean that he should turn violent and destroy the idol. And we can go on and on. similarly, you are free to interpret your faith in the way you choose and so do all of us. So if I interpret my scriptures wrongfully, it is not my scriptures but my interpretation that should be in question. I am not going to discuss the Muslim dogma, I am not qualified to do that as much as with the Hindu or Jewish dogma. Those are best left to the religious scholars. We hold onto our faiths because of our own interpretation.
